Saturday November 19th 1921
We had lunch early and was at Harrys office by
one oclock. He took us in the car to see places of interest.
Then a long ride through what was "The Centennial Grounds."
If I could only have had Will with me or written him
about it. After early supper all went to a picture show.
Sunday November 20th 1921
The forenoon was short as it was so late when we got
up. We had a wonderful ride in the afternoon through
Valley Forge and to Norristown. The evening at home.
Monday November 21st 1921
Nellie and I went down town at 10.30. Through Wanamakers
Store and lunch there. Had a letter from Harry Able
this morning. While down town wrote to him, Hattie & Alice Condon.
Tuesday November 22nd 1921
Harry took Nellie and me to The Station at 8 oclock to go
to New York for the day. Went to Gimbals store for lunch
From The MacAlpen Hotel we took a Motor Bus for a trip
through The City for three and a half hours. It was wonderful.
To the depot in time to start back at 6 PM. Had supper on
the train. Home at 8.30. Letter from Hattie. A great day.
Wednesday November 23rd 1921
I wrote to Mattie Stitt and read some in AM. Nellie and I
both slept in PM. We were tired from our trip yesterday.
Harry took us to a fine play at night "The Rat."
Today was their 12th wedding anniversary.
